What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

dapagliflozin and sildenafil

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a better combination treatment for heart failure patients who also have high blood pressure in their lungs.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may not improve heart function more than dapagliflozin alone.
